Whether you’ve been living with scars for a year or several decades, the marks left behind on your skin can be extremely frustrating to deal with. Perhaps you’re constantly reminded of an acne breakout from your teen years. Or maybe the scars are a constant reminder of a previous surgery, injury, or trauma.
